Not to alarm anyone, but the orcas have acquired yet another F/A-18

must be the fault of woke dei hires. definitely not mass firings and rollbacks of safety standards

Two in eight days.
Nox
it's also now a total of 3 aircraft lost, though one was shot down in a friendly fire incident so the orcas probably aren't gonna be able to get that one operational

That's only $110+ million dollars gifted to Atlantis.
Nox
Well, we've gotta offer them something after Disney bungled their movie deal

The Truman I'd having a bit of a rough time...

Yuuup
Nox
jokes aside, the explanation behind the most recent one isn't particularly embarrassing
Nox
It was on landing, the arresting wire snapped, jet couldn't stop in time and went over the front. No way to avoid it if the wire breaks.
Nox
(the reason it's still a bad thing, however, is that it's had it's deployment extended twice now and when you delay regular maintenance this kind of stuff is going to get more likely)

That's also why you go into a carrier landing at take off speeds. Because issues happen. It's awful that they had to ditch the plane. No pilot likes that.
Nox
Admittedly even at the speeds you do go in for landing at, that's still pretty damn fast compared to anything we'd be doing in a car
Nox
and with way less room than a freeway
Nox
(everyone's okay, by the way, the worst injuries in any of these situations were just minor injuries, nobody died and everyone's fine)
Nox
(except the people who got fired)
Nox
(but like all the pilots and flight deck crew are fine)
Hyatt
what had its deployment extended?
StupidSexyV⚠der
the ship
Hyatt
was it the only ship available? is there any excuse for it not going in for maintenance?
StupidSexyV⚠der
likely not and the excuse is money but it's a pisspoor one.
